    Choosing between two '07 Denali...need help

    If they're just as clean as each other, go with the one whose color you like more. The one that would make you smile to see in your garage/driveway.

    08 Denali 4" Ready Lift 315-70-17

    Thanks man. I think I've mentioned it before, but I am a huge fan of your Denali. One of my favs on this forum.

    08 Denali 4" Ready Lift 315-70-17

    Looks great! Though your rear looks a little low.. is it loaded up?

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Guys who have trimmed (not removed) the air dam - how did you do it? Reciprocating saw and sand down the edges? I want to chop off about 2-2.5" off the bottom of mine while to gain me a bit of clearance while keeping a stock look.

    What fluids are you running?

    Here's what I was looking at - someone on Amazon asked whether it was synthetic and someone quoted the back of the bottle as "full synthetic." https://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx2UTT3LK0HNJ4T/-/ref=ask_dp_lsw_al_hza?asin=B01EKMGG92 Still not sure though since I have found a few references on...

    Huge hesitation, mechanically inclined. Please help

    Definitely worth a try. Have you cleaned your PCV channel hoses? I sprayed carb cleaner through mine a few weeks ago and the amount of crap that came out of them was crazy.

    Huge hesitation, mechanically inclined. Please help

    Damn man, what a mystery. I'm sorry you're dealing with all this. Here's my idea, hopefully it leads somewhere. Take off the intake tube and have someone try various throttle positions (10%, half, WOT) while you watch the throttle plate. *Maybe* an internal issue with the throttle control motor...

    What fluids are you running?

    Does this mean it can't be mixed with the synthetic ACDelco Dex VI that's in my transmission now? I plan to do a drain and fill, not a full flush.

    What fluids are you running?

    I use Mobil 1 for oil, I didn't realize that they made Dex VI also. I'll definitely look into that for the trans and t-case.

    What fluids are you running?

    I'm about to swap out all my drivetrain fluids and want to know what others have had success with. Here's what I'm thinking: Front diff: Lucas 80W-90 Rear diff: Lucas 75W-90 T-case: ACDelco Dex VI ATF: ACDelco Dex VI Look good? Not looking forward to that ATF swap because of that exhaust. What...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    With mine it wasn't the dash piece that was rattling, mine was coming from underneath the speaker grille. I popped off the grille and found out that one of the bolts holding the speaker to the dash was finger tight. Fortunately that one was an easy fix.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    As long as the crack doesn't make noise, I'm not terribly concerned with it. I've already tracked down too many rattles and squeaks in only 10k miles of ownership... centerpoint speaker, tow/haul button, door lock plastic, and interior steering column to name a few... come on GM, not even my 15...

    High transmission temp

    Be sure to check your trans fluid level while you're idling. 205 isn't terrible, but it's higher than I've seen.. I think the highest I've seen not under load is 190-ish. Also crawl around under your truck and check the lines going from the radiator to the trans. Edit: I was curious so I pushed...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Wow, that is the same EXACT place my crack is. Thanks for the tip.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Ugh, noticed my first dash crack today. It's behind the gauge cluster and about 2" long. So what did I do? I bought a windshield sun shade thingy. Should have done that awhile ago.

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Thanks! I'll probably keep the 18s on for the winter but I'm definitely not selling the 22s. Still saving up for some 33s for the 22s like I mentioned earlier in the thread.

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    2" lower strut spacer, 1" rear spring spacer with the autoride rods adjusted. Also went from 22s to 18s. With just the rear spacer, my rear was sitting 1/4-1/2" lower than the front and it drove me crazy, so I lengthened the rods so the compressor could lift up the back a bit. I will probably...

    Input needed...

    I ended up switching out the 22s for 18s to get a bit more sidewall. My 22s are sitting in storage though, and I kind of miss them, they looked good and got lots of compliments. I think for my next set of tires I will go with 33x12.50r22 (almost the same height as 305/45r22 but 1/2" wider and...

    Input needed...

    I test fit a 305/45r22 on my Suburban (2/1 level) at the tire shop. It fit fine, no rub, but it was close. I believe that is the largest 22" size you can run without trimming. In this size your all terrain options are limited though - Nitto Terra Grappler ($340/tire) or Hankook Dynapro ATM...

    Black Out Grill Surround Options?

    Damn, sorry to hear that. Let's hope it's an honest mistake and they make it right. The black one actually looks really good, I like how it's glossy black and not matte like so many of the cheap grill surrounds.

    How do you remove the running boards?

    I think the no running board look can look good on an NNBS, but only if the air dam is also removed or trimmed down to a minimum.

    Level My Denali Xl

    Your Denali looks great, def one of the best offroad-focused Yukons I've seen. Who makes that roof rack? I'm having the same issue with the rear on my LTZ, I put in a 2/1 level and the rear is still lower. I'm going to extend the air ride rods to see if the compressor can bring it back up, but...

    New owner of a 08 Z71 Tahoe!...with questions

    Extended models is referring to the Suburban and Yukon XL. I believe GM gave them all (Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL) the same manual to save money. In other words, you can tow 7000.

    08 Denali 4" Ready Lift 315-70-17

    They won't unless you're willing to destroy your fender cutting and trimming metal. 285/70r17 will fit fine with a level and still look good.
